BIKE PATH REPAIR PROJECTS/TEMPORARY CLOSINGS:
The Bike Path adjacent to Lakeview Cemetery, just south of North Beach, will be undergoing repairs during the week of April 22. This may result in detours and temporary delays for the users. Through access will be provided whenever possible, but users will notice difficulty in navigating around the sites because of large machinery and vehicles. Please plan accordingly.
The Route 127 Recreational Path will be undergoing final construction including paving and fence work beginning April 25. The path will be closed throughout the course of the project which is expected to last two weeks. The impacted area is north of Ethan Allen Homestead and south of Ethan Allen Parkway along the Recreational Path. Please use North Avenue to access points north and south of the impacted area. Thank you!
